Casings/Dunk and Roll
    #9015762 - 10/01/08 09:25 PM (15 years, 5 months ago)

So 7 of my cakes are almost finished colonizing, and I am in desperate search of vermiculite since I used up nearly all of mine (1/4 cup left). I can't find it, how necessarily is vermiculite in dunk/roll techniques and casing mixes? would perlite be a sufficient substitute or should I order some online and wait it out? I already have a big bag of perlite.

you could just dunk and not roll the cakes and still get great results. ive never heard of using perlite to roll and i dont think its a good idea but couldnt say exactly why. here in canada we can get vermiculite at home depot, large grocery stores, garden centres and such.

i would NOT use perlite, just sounds like a disaster plus i don't think that stuff is good for you...i would order some verm or buy some from a local nursery or garden shop, maybe even check some hardware stores or hydroponic shops. If you can't get any soon i would just dunk and not roll

Alright, and what about the casing substrate? Don't you need a layer of verm before the cakes, then the soil?

Also, if I dunked the cakes and then fruited them is it still ok to put them in an FC with a bottom layer of perlite?

Nothing is dangerous about perlite as long as you don't breathe in the dust. It's just rocks, same is true for vermiculite. 

Anyways yeah don't roll your cakes in perlite, you want the vermiculite to hold moisture, but if you don't have vermiculite, you don't have to roll the cakes, they can still do fine without.
